Fierce & Formidable
‘FIERCE & FORMIDABLE’ depicts the unapologetic and powerful nature of women in today’s society. It is a celebration of womanhood, motherhood, and generational leadership. More specifically, this collection focuses on my maternal lineage—resilient women of Italian descent who challenged and defied gender stereotypes and social stigmas, often through their strong work ethic, bold voices and fashion choices. I am fortunate to have grown up in the same zip code as these exemplary role models and this collection pays homage to our complex and collective senses of womanhood.
